Crust, the upper layer of the Earth, is not always the same. Crust under the oceans is only about 5 km thick while continental crust can be up to 65 km thick. Also, ocean crust is made of denser minerals than continental crust.
The tectonic plates are made up of Earth’s crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere and they extend about 80 km deep. The lithosphere is broken into giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces. These puzzle pieces move a little bit each year as they slide on top of a somewhat fluid part of the mantle called the asthenosphere. All this moving rock can cause earthquakes.
The asthenosphere is ductile and can be pushed and deformed like silly putty in response to the warmth of the Earth. These rocks actually flow, moving in response to the stresses placed upon them by the churning motions of the deep interior of the Earth. The flowing asthenosphere carries the lithosphere of the Earth, including the continents, on its back.
1) The history of egypt is still unclear; artifacts, how the pyramids were built, gods and whatnot.
2) Egypt's history being uncovered in regards to curses and amulets is still being practiced in the country and some others because of the great influence it had.
3) Egyptians being able to construct such grand structures that still stand (pyramids) serves as evidence that proves Egypt was a very advanced civilization at the peak of their advancement.
The SI unit for mass is Kilogram (kg).
Answer:
Explanation:
For a flower to appear blue, "it needs to be able to produce a molecule that can absorb very small amounts of energy," in order to absorb the red part of the spectrum, Kupferschmidt said.
Answer:
a) A satellite is warmed by sunlight.
Explanation:
Heat transfer by radiation mostly involves heat gain or heat loss from the Sun. In this case, Option A is the only option where sunlight is involved so it is the best example of heat transfer by radiation.
